Countless Skies

Goðafoss, Þingeyjarsveit, Iceland (Winter 2017)

After the sun had shone on the clouds in the opposite direction it’s last rays of photons are now cast onto the lenticular clouds, harbingers of a strong low pressure system that is coming in from the west, said to bring heavy rain and gale force winds.
